“I think it's important to
preserve our culture,
to pass down that knowledge,
because this is our collective experience
that we can all learn from –
it's our treasure chest.
One thing I'd like to point out, though,
is that there is a difference
between passing down wisdom
versus passing down trauma.
It takes time to learn
to tell the two apart,
and what you're gonna
take away from it
is then up to you.” 

- Olga Kim, Uzbek-Korean folk artist
